1904
"Grog issued from 5:30 PM on." Mighty words these—just a foot note on the Captain's call for Friday evening, Oct. 27, at The Engineers Club. We had a wonderful time. Seventeen men appeared at the dinner, which was one of the best we have enjoyed for years. Bowles, Leverone, Woodbridge, Moulton,Gale, Johnson, Sewall and Hardy came from more or less distant points. Mower, Maguire,Hobbe, Lampee, Bullock, Sexton Woods and Robinson from the Boston area were present. Hobbs was reinforced by his Dartmouth son Oridon, a welcome visitor. Good fellowship and enthusiasm prevailed and the remarks by the men who came from the greater dist ances were welcomed by the Boston brethren. Following the conclusion of the celebration a few of the hardier spirits led by the indomitable Johnson enjoyed certain of the entertainment features provided by The Engineers Club until a late hour. Messages from Ike Charron, Tom Streeter, Oscar Aldrich,Tom Uniac, Leon Webster, Burrit Hinman,Draper Phelps, Charlie Leddy, Dave Austin,Henry Hall, Sam Wing, Sid Rollins, CloydMaynard, Edgerly and others. As the years pass, the class interest and class spirit seem to grow stronger.
Brotherhood, Erasmus Hall, and Scales, Phillips Exeter, represented us at the Dartmouth-Michigan game. George and Sally saw the Leverones at the Friday night Pow Wow, also the Rodgers and Ike Maynards '05, Roy Owen '06 and daughter and the Masons '09. George observed that our team play was on a par with Michigan's but our linemen were too quick on the trigger with resulting penalties that really discounted our ability to win. Jimmy's official scorecard gave us a realistic picture of Michigan and its football background. Jimmy and Zeta made a September trek to Copper Harbor in the upper Peninsula. From the top of the mountain "we could look across Lake Superior, 45 miles to beautiful unspoiled Isle Royale." Some mountain that can boost the Brotherhood sights 45 miles!
Sam Wing became a grandfather when Sally Wing Wahab was born, Dec. 22 last, in Westfield, N. J. Sally Wing's dad is a Western Electric Construction Engineer who has, within a few weeks, taken charge of a building program for his company in New Orleans. Sam retired from 22 years in lumber business January 1, and in a couple of months was in the lumber business a few miles from the old job. This is retirement. "If I can keep employed a few more years I will be ready to rest for awhile. I feel fine."
Thomas W. Streeter, owner of one of the largest collections of early American books in the country, was elected V.P. of the American Antiquarian Society at Worcester, Mass., Oct. 18 at the annual meeting. Prof. Samuel Eliot Morison of Harvard presided over the meeting of 40 members who came from New England, New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
"Does the name Louis E. Leverone (Dartmouth '04) ring a bell with you? He's the 70-year-old fellow who makes the bean soup for our senators in Washington. He has the Senate restaurant and was written up m the Post a few weeks ago. Be sides his bean-soup activity—Leverone owns and personally supervises close to 130 other eating places about the country. He feeds most of the General Motors Plants; many schools and colleges; in fact, Leverone even admits himself that he can't remember all the places that are using his so-called 'Nation-Wide Food Service.' As you can imagine—he has one of the biggest grocery bills in America. But then, Leverone is a big man. A vending company he owns vends 400 million Hershey bars a year; 10 billion sticks of chewing gum and these are only a couple of sample items.
"As President of the National Aeronautical As- sociation, he has been on every major maiden flight in commercial aviation history. He has flown 3,000,000 paid passenger miles—the record."
This Oakland (Calif.) Tribune item passedalong by Pen Mower is a brief all inclusivethree-dimensional picture of Jig's doings sincehe retired from active business to enjoy work.
The Muchmores, Harriet, Harrie and the dog, made a 9600-mile motor trip between Feb- 27 and May 25. You'll like Harrie's log of the round trip from Ho-Ho-Kus:
"We visited our youngest daughter Jean in El Paso, Tex., our son John L. '43 in National City, Tex., our second daughter Frances in Titusville, Pa., and 'many old friends. Saw eight of the ten grandchildren, three for. the first time. The first daughter and other two grandchildren live near here in New Jersey. We also found 1904 men and other Dartmouth men all along the line, including Whittemore in his palatial office in Washington, Raymond Nead 'll and Mrs. Nead in Hendersonville, N. C., and in Chattanooga we spent an evening with Joh?i and Mrs. Fletcher. Had morning coffee with Bill Knibbs 3rd '34 in his San Diego office; finally located Millard Chase in Long Beach, Calif., but was only able to talk with him on the telephone; and we spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon at Parson Hill's lovely home in La Canada, where he had also gathered Bob Fiske and Jared Hatch with their wives to meet us. At San Luis Obispo we enjoyed the fine hospitality of Lester Gibson and his wife and learned a few new points about Canasta. Also saw the presentation volume of photographs bound in beautiful handtooled leather which his fellow workers during the long years of service for the California Highway Commission had presented to him. I have seen many but this topped them all.
"We spent a day in the Yosemite Valley, one of the few rainy days in the entire trip. We got a few nice pictures in spite of the rain. After a lunch on May 2 in Sacramento with Wayne Perkins and his wife we started for Reno via Donner Pass but were caught in a blinding snowstorm near the summit and stayed in a Lodge at the summit for the night. Saw Jig Leverone in Chicago, but missed Frank Stowell by half a day."
Rev. Canon Charles M. Tubbs and Miss Anna McCobb Trott both of Bath, Me., were married on Wednesday, July 12, at noon in the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Falmouth Foreside, Me., by the Rt. Rev. Oliver L. Loring, Bishop of the Diocese of Maine. Following the ceremony which was attended by relatives of the couple, a dinner was given the wedding party in a private dining room of Hotel Lafayette, Portland, by the bride's brother, Raymond Trott 'l4 and Mrs. Trott. The bride is a graduate of Smith College (1922) and was formerly a teacher in Morse High School, Bath. The wedding couple went on a two-weeks' trip to Mount Desert Island, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and are living at 982 High St., Bath. (New address.) Charlie is in his 30th year as rector of Grace Church.
